I've little doubt that Joe Biden will be in power come November and he will be keen to sign a trade deal with one his country's key trading partners. The EU.

Sadly, back of the queue for a deal will be Britain given BoJo's affiliations to Trump via the Vote Leave campaign and the threat to the Good Friday Agreement with the Internal Marker Bill. If we're looking for a positive here, it makes the arrival of chlorinated chicken on these shores less imminent.

You are capable of better arguments than you've just made.

Putting aside the possible data concerns highlighted by Hugh, if correct this does largely support jfman's arguments. Of our largest export markets, the only country we have a deal with is Switzerland and BoJo has scuppered the chance of a deal anytime soon with the US by his closeness to Trump.
Therefore, striking a deal with the EU becomes ever more important with the US out of reach. Expect more rolling-over on BoJo's part!
